In Unison: Porter Robinson

In case you missed it, Porter Robinson is everywhere. The 19 year old Electro DJ blew up recently and is now scheduled to open for none other than Tiesto at his College Invasion Tour. Similarly to how Skrillex was discovered and subsequently signed by Deadmau5, Skrillex has taken young Porter under his wing.

Well it appears that partnership is already paying dividends as Porter's new album spitfire was released several weeks ago and debuted at #1 on the Beatport Top Ten (pretty solid protege choice for Skril if you ask me).

The title track is decent, and you can definitely hear the Skrillex influences. Where the album really shines is with its 2nd track: Unison. The fact that Unison has two remixes included on the album should be a clue that this is where to start listening. The original track begins pretty trancy and then hardens out with classic Porter about 2 minutes in, while the "Knife Party" remix starts out with calm melodies, before absolutely running you over with an amazing dubstep freight-train at 1:05. Look for a lot more out of Robinson, as he's not going away anytime soon. As far as other tracks to check out, his remix of Avicii's Bromance is incredible, and the fact that he and Avicii are only 19 & 23 years old seriously makes my head hurt.
